Chapter Forty-Nine: Another Killing

readx;

Time passed minute by minute, and the bustling noise outside came in from afar, making Yi Xuan a little irritable, at this time he was sitting quietly in the shadows of the basement, in order not to leak his body, he had been motionless for more than ten minutes. The result of sitting in the lobby for an afternoon in the www.biquge.info lobby is that Yi Xuan basically grasps the specific dynamics of each person, and most of the people's actions are in the hall, but there is one exception, that is, the chef of this hotel, every hour, the fat chef will come out of the back kitchen and enter the basement to get the ingredients, although the chef is not very satisfied with him, but this is his first chance, so Yi Xuan started hunting without picking it up.

It was very quiet in the dark, Yi Xuan's eyes kept staring at the entrance of the basement, waiting quietly, in this kind of waiting, it seemed that time had passed longer, but fortunately, Yi Xuan's patience was relatively good.

And Yi Xuan is now interested in the ability to study NPCs, of course, his research is not without purpose, judging from the skills of the previous farmer NPC, the NPCs in this world have various abilities, Yi Xuan feels that from these NPCs, he may be able to find something interesting, and help himself finally win the final trial after a year.

The hard work paid off, just when Yi Xuan's squatting feet were sore, finally, a heavy footstep came from the entrance of the basement, and then a chubby figure appeared on the stairs of the basement, blocking the sunlight shining from outside, the chef walked to the door of the basement, picked up the oil lamp that was not burning vigorously at the door, and walked towards the food inside step by step.

Under the reflection of the oil lamp, Yi Xuan could clearly see that the huge black shadow that was walking in front of him was the chef of the hotel before, the image of this chef was very classic, one meter seven or eight high, it looked like more than two hundred catties, and the meat was mainly piled up in the belly, making him look like a big meat spinning top, the chef's hat was crookedly on the head, and the head and neck below had been trained into one because of the accumulation of meat, which was commonly known as a big head and a thick neck.

Although this hotel is not big, the ingredients are very well prepared, there are rows of shelves with flour, grains, vegetables, fruits, etc., and there are rows of oak barrels of wine on the outside of these shelves, and on the top of the oak barrels are a row of smoked ham, bacon and other meats, and Yi Xuan's place at this time is in the shadow formed by the rows of bacon, the chef came to Yi Xuan with his thick legs, and put the barrel on the side of the oil lamp house, Reach for a piece of cured ham

Obviously, he didn't notice Yi Xuan hiding below, Yi Xuan saw that it was a good opportunity, and stood up suddenly, the two happened to come face to face, and before the chef could react, Yi Xuan had already clasped the chef's forehead, and used the skill that he had been preparing for a long time, and the mind was replaced.

The cook's face showed an expression of surprise, but the next moment, he regained his composure, the cook raised his hand to look at his new body, the look in his eyes was no longer different from the dull appearance just now, although fat, but the chef's movements were quite agile, at least better than the farmer just now.

Since it was research, Yi Xuan first checked the attributes and abilities of this chef, and found that this chef, like the farmer before, was very weak in terms of combat effectiveness, but other skills were not

Unlike a farmer, a chef's strongest skill is his cooking skills, which means that he can cook a variety of ingredients. Probably the ones sold at this inn.

Yi Xuan looked up at the shelf in front of him, those ingredients that seemed ordinary just now became vivid in his eyes, and there was a strong feeling of wanting to cook in his heart, if it was described as a feeling, it was like playing a simple 3 game, and the items that could not be touched as the background of the game seemed to be suddenly unlocked, originally Yi Xuan was not half interested in these ingredients, but now he couldn't ignore their existence.

Yi Xuan said in his heart that it's okay, anyway, there is not much food left in the backpack, just take this opportunity to find some benefits for himself, thinking of this, Yi Xuan first took an apple and took a bite, this is a fruit that Yi Xuan likes very much, but he hasn't enjoyed it for a long time since he entered the game, while eating apples, Yi Xuan began to take other ingredients, and at the same time, relevant recipes will immediately appear in his heart, such as Yi Xuan picked up a bag of flour, and immediately thought that if he used it to make cakes, he would also need to use fresh cream, If you need chocolate to make muffins, this kind of consciousness is natural and not abrupt at all, so that the relevant ingredients have been taken out before Yi Xuan is even aware of it.

Yi Xuan became more and more energetic, and after a while, his hands were occupied, this chef was very obese, and he took a lot of things, and immediately felt that his action was not very convenient, Yi Xuan went up to deliver it first, and then came again, and then put all the things he wanted to take in the kitchen, and then began to happily mix noodles, seasoning, and chop stuffing.

Because this game is set in the background of Western Europe, although Yi Xuan wants to make some oriental snacks such as dumplings, he doesn't know the steps, so he has to make it according to the food that this chef can make, click on the chef's cooking skills Yi Xuan found that there are really a lot of foods that can be made, strawberry cake, apple pie, chocolate muffins, Yi Xuan filled a pot of wine with a wine jug, although he doesn't like to drink it very much, but at present, it seems that there is only such a drink in this world.

Yi Xuan was busy and happy, the innkeeper suddenly walked in, Yi Xuan was startled, and then thought that this boss would enter the kitchen every once in a while to inspect, and occasionally reprimand loudly, it seemed that it was just a system setting, but he didn't have to care too much.

Sure enough, the boss looked around, crossed his waist and said loudly: "I said that you still stand less and work more, you see that the guests outside are waiting for a hurry, and I really don't know how I hired you in the first place." ”

The boss was stern and complained a lot, but Yi Xuan was still busy with himself, and he didn't raise his eyelids, and the boss scolded for a while before giving up, and turned around and went back to the lobby.

Yi Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, continued to make, and almost made all the food styles that can be made in this chef skill list, anyway, there are free raw materials, no need to use them in vain, plus the wine jug and fruits that were installed before, Yi Xuan's harvest today is very rich.

After all, this chef is just a public NP list, and the recipes unlocked in the list are limited, and the cooking in the game is not the same as in reality, so it didn't take long for Yi Xuan to have nothing to do, so he found a basket and put all the food inside, and covered it with the chef's apron, and then carried it to the room on the second floor.

When he came to the room where he had killed the farmer before, Yi Xuan put the food on the ground next to the table, so as to prevent the food from being knocked over in case of a fight, although Yi Xuan was still quite sure about killing the chef.

After checking the chef's function panel again and making sure that there was nothing else he was interested in, Yi Xuan withdrew from the chef's body, in fact, with his current ability, there was no problem in controlling an NP for three or four hours, but since the chef's ability was thoroughly understood by him, there was no need to waste time and continue to wait, and Yi Xuan would continue to study the next NP

With a flash of golden light, Yi Xuan withdrew from the chef's body, and the moment the two separated, the chef suddenly recovered from the occupied state, was stunned for a moment, and immediately turned around and attacked Yi Xuan.

But fortunately, with the last experience, Yi Xuan can be said to have been prepared, and after experiencing the first unprovoked killing, it seems that there is no psychological burden at all, and Yi Xuan killed this chef in three or two.

Dragging the cook's corpse under the bed, Yi Xuan was stunned when he lifted the sheets, he originally thought that the farmer's corpse would be refreshed by the system, but now it seems that things are not going as he expected, and the farmer is still lying in it with his head tilted.

Yi Xuan scratched his head, his heart seemed to be a little troublesome if he didn't refresh it, this question seemed to be just a trivial matter, but Yi Xuan instinctively felt that something was wrong, the corpses of monsters in the game were usually refreshed quickly, which had already been confirmed. The player's corpse will also spawn when the player respawns. But for the corpse of the NPC, Yi Xuan has not confirmed it yet, but in his mind, it will definitely be refreshed, and he still remembers that when he didn't enter the game, didn't the old man in the white suit tell them that it would be refreshed after death?

But at this moment, seeing the corpse that should have disappeared was still lying there, which made Yi Xuan feel a little uneasy, what would happen in the end if he continued to put it here? Rotten like in reality? It's still in this form like a mummy. And if this corpse is not refreshed, isn't it evidence of one's own crime?

But after thinking about it, there are so many rooms on the second floor anyway, and it's a big deal for him to go to live in other rooms, Yi Xuan quickly thought about it. Anyway, it's just an NPC with a public face, and after making up his mind, Yi Xuan climbed in and pushed the farmer's body inside, this bed is the size of a double bed, so it is rich and expensive to accommodate two people under the bed, the chef's corpse is not light, Yi Xuan took a lot of effort to stuff it in, and finally got all this, Yi Xuan clapped his hands and decided to take a good rest.

But in this room is still free, Yi Xuan lifted the food basket he had just put down, went out and found a vacant room, put the excess things in the food basket into the backpack first, and then put the rest of the food on the sheets, the things made on it are basically what he likes to eat, at least it is much more delicious than those hard breads, Yi Xuan has been sleeping in the open for the past two days, and this time he finally enjoyed it, so he lay down on the bed while eating sweet pastries, While thinking about which NPC's body he would occupy tomorrow, because of the problem of those two corpses, Yi Xuan wanted to see if he could directly subdue the NPC tomorrow, such as knocking him unconscious, to see if he would still attack himself after waking up, so he planned to fall asleep unconsciously.

Because in the place where the players gathered, Yi Xuan didn't dare to sleep too hard when he slept, he was in a daze and had messy dreams, and suddenly woke up to see that there was no one else in the room, so he was relieved, and lay down for a while, Yi Xuan came to the room where the corpse was hidden, and suddenly lifted the sheets, Yi Xuan wanted to see the bed empty, but unfortunately the fact was that the two corpses still did not disappear, and after such a short period of time, they had faintly begun to emit a faint smell, and Yi Xuan was a little stunned, It's a sight to see if this corpse will really rot in the end, but this is the game, these two corpses are just a string of code, so don't be so serious.

Things were a bit unexpected and were moving in a direction he couldn't understand, and if they didn't refresh, would a new NP appear? Yi Xuan reluctantly re-covered the sheets, and walked downstairs with some hesitation, he needed to confirm something as soon as possible.

The lobby is still noisy, there is no lack of business because there is no chef's labor, those guests who are drinking are talking as always, no one notices a person who hides himself under the cloak, the hostess of the inn is still standing behind the bar, looking at the people around with a smile, Yi Xuan swept around, and unexpectedly found that the owner of the inn was gone, shouldn't it, after yesterday's observation Yi Xuan was very sure that this boss did not have any other procedures, and the scope of activities was circled in the hotel, the counter, The kitchen and the hotel lobby made him a place of eternal activity.

Yi Xuan hurriedly ran to the kitchen to check, but he was not there, Yi Xuan was shocked, it was broken, could it be that the official went? After looking around again, he finally found him at the door, the innkeeper looked around the door, with a big golden exclamation mark on his head, Yi Xuan knew that this meant that he had a mission, of course, this mission was only for players, but Yi Xuan still pretended to be casual and walked over, he felt that he should be able to hear something from the other party's mouth.

"Hey, did you see the chef at our inn?" The innkeeper asked Yi Xuan, "I haven't seen him for a long time, and I don't know where he went." ”

Yi Xuan was shocked when he heard this, he always felt that the death of this kind of public-faced NPC would not attract the attention of others, and after the death of the NPC, shouldn't the system be refreshed immediately to maintain the normal operation of the system?

Yi Xuan had thought about the possibility of NPC not refreshing just now, but once this kind of thing became a fact, there seemed to be a feeling of causing a big disaster, Yi Xuan once again patrolled between the kitchen and the basement, making sure that there was no chef, and the vague worry in his heart just now became more and more intense.

The current situation is that the NP has not been refreshed after its death, and the corpse upstairs has not disappeared, and the innkeeper has one more task, obviously the permanent death of the chef has become a foregone conclusion, combining the above points, Yi Xuan got two possibilities, first, not all NPs will be refreshed after death, and the NPs that can be refreshed should be mission NPCs or monsters that have a death mission in themselves. For example, the chef may not have a refresh setting in the code itself.

The second possibility, and the one that Yi Xuan least wants to see, is that NPCs killing NPCs will lead to NPC sexual death. And at the same time, there will be some quests that will be derived from this, which will promote the progress of the game. While this is the most groundbreaking discovery he's made since he entered the game, it also means that he may also go down the path of a chef, and if that's the case, what about other NPs killing themselves? Will it lead to permanent death? Yi Xuan still prefers to believe that these NPCs themselves have no refreshed settings.

However, these were not the most pressing issues in front of Yi Xuan, he was hesitating in his heart, whether to continue to stay and wait for the cat's fish not to eat, or to change to a hotel?

Calling up his panel, Yi Xuan found that the kill value he had cleaned had increased by five points, the level of these NPCs was not high, so the kill value was relatively low, Yi Xuan hurriedly cleaned it with reward points, so that Yi Xuan's heart was a little more stable.

Considering his neutral status, Yi Xuan felt that it was not a wise choice to find another hotel on the street, if it was to occupy the body of an NPC again, it might trigger another mission, anyway, no one doubted himself now, the best choice was to continue to stay here.

But if you stay here, now the task of this innkeeper is very in the way, if any player accepts the task of finding the chef, it doesn't take much, as long as you walk around the hotel, it is easy to find the corpse upstairs, and it is easy to find Huang Mingde himself, players are not like NP They are not controlled by the system, there are not so many rules and regulations. When you see yourself, you are likely to attack, and at that time it will be like stabbing a hornet's nest, and the trouble will be big, no, you have to find a way.

"Hey, I know where the chef is." Yi Xuan really couldn't find any sign of being able to take on the task, so he had to step forward and say to the boss.

But the boss only glanced at Yi Xuan slightly, and then continued to look anxiously at the road ahead of him. directly regarded Yi Xuan as air. Obviously, his tasks are only given to those players. For NPs like him, there is no way to take on the task.

Damn, that's not going to work. You can't use the ability of mind replacement in such a large public, Yi Xuan hurriedly inspected the hotel, and his eyes suddenly fell on the hostess. He remembered seeing the conversation between the waitress and the boss, maybe he could take advantage of the relationship between the NPCs, according to his previous observations, every half an hour, she would go into the kitchen to get food, but looking at the location of the kitchen, Yi Xuan was a little difficult, the kitchen door was a half-free door, it looked very beautiful, and it was convenient to enter and exit with things, but the upper half was open, and it was easy to be found if there was an ambush inside, even if the waitress saw that she didn't react, It is also a problem if the mind is seen by outsiders when it is replaced.

How can you hide your figure? Yi Xuan returned to the basement of the inn, the only place that players would not be frequenting, and the only place that was temporarily safe at the moment, recalling all the skills and abilities he possessed, trying to find out what to do to solve the dilemma in front of him.
